Network with Both Business Owners and Consumers

Minority Biz delves well beyond simply providing a list of minority-owned businesses.  Along with increasing the life span of a dollar in minority communities, our mission also entails mending the relationship between minority consumers and minority-owned businesses.

We provide a community that allows business owners and consumers to connect both professionally and socially by way of our many features.

We provide an aray of options which will allow minority business owners and their customers to directly communciate with one another and determine how to best collaborate and work collectively to build economic wealth in minority communities.

Personal Profile

In addition to business listings, each member of Minority-Biz has a profile page in which they can interact with the community on a personal level.  Profile pages allow members to introduce themselves to the community, as well as provide a little incite on their background and thoughts on minority-owned businesses.

Photo Gallery

We provide a HTML-5-powered photo gallery. Upload business-related photos or any other photos that may be of interest to the community. Just drag and drop them to the upload screen and our uploader will automatically queue the photos.

Each album is neatly displayed, coupled with interactive features such as comment and like system, photo tagging and content discovery modules

Members may create public or friends only photo album, allow comment and like for individual photos and album, and re-order photos in albums via drag and drop.

Videos

We allow our members to share existing videos uploaded on popular video hosting sites such as Youtube, Vimeo, Google, and Yahoo.

Members can post videos introducing their business to the community, self-help and motivational videos, and any other video that may be of interest to the community.

User Groups

Sometimes it's more engaging to communicate in a smaller circle. Minority-Biz allows members to build communites around specific business and community interest, and to interact on a more personal level.

Every group will have its own photos, videos and event sections. Plus, there is a discussion board and file sharing feature for each group.

Members can set their groups as public or private. Private groups require invitation before anyone can join and view its content.

Events

Nothing beats meeting potential customers and business contaacts face to face.  Users can easily manage events with our Event Manager. Members can add business and other events that may be of interest to the community.

Set an event anywhere in the world and it will display in the Google maps. Future events can be set to occur weekly, monthly, and annually. Furthermore, event administrators can set RSVP attendance and limit the number of attendees.

External Sharing and Invitations

Users can share their favorite business listings, reviews, photos, videos, events, and any other user content with other external services such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and e-mail. 

Additionally, members can securely invite their friends and clients to review their business listings, as well as join groups and RSVP for events.
